Carved entirely in wood — bois sculpté — without gesso, which accounts for the crispness and depth of the carving. The surround is animated throughout with C-scrolls, a shell cartouche at the base, acanthus leaves, and a floral crest. The original mercury mirror plate is intact. The gilding is unrestored original, with the natural variation and warmth that no modern re-gilding can replicate. The wire hanging loop is period and original to the frame. The aging throughout is unfakeable and entirely integral to the object's value.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHang alone on a plaster or paneled wall where the carving can be read in raking light. Exceptional in a powder room, above a mantel, or as a focal point on a gallery wall. The intimate scale rewards close attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"foundresse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56370019106982,"sku":null,"price":498.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/7645\/6870\/files\/B52642C1-4D1E-4C10-AFDC-0B363302DA0F.jpg?v=1775840451","url":"https:\/\/foundresse.com\/products\/antique-french-hand-carved-giltwood-wall-mirror-louis-xv-rococo-18th-century","provider":"foundresse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
